Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Winfield SD 34. We found 2 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.

👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5)

Moving $242,000 from Classroom to Capital Funds

📅 2026-08-20

The board is holding a public hearing to transfer $242,000 from the Education Fund (for classroom instruction) to the Capital Fund (for buildings). The district has not publicly stated what specific project this money is for, raising questions about financial transparency and priorities.

Recommended Action Plan

ATTEND THE HEARING: This meeting is a public hearing specifically for this transfer. Attend and use public comment to ask the Board: ‘What specific capital project requires this $242,000 transfer, and why must it come from the Education Fund instead of other sources?’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: $242,000 from Education

ALERT (LEVEL 3)

Using Education Funds to Pay for Leases and Debt

📅 2026-08-20

The board also plans to transfer over $14,000 from the Education Fund to the Bond & Interest Fund, with an attachment title suggesting it’s for a copier lease. This sets a precedent of using money meant for classroom instruction to cover operational debt and expenses.

Recommended Action Plan

Monitor: While at the hearing for the larger transfer, ask for clarification on why the Education Fund is being used for operational costs like leases. Track this as a potential pattern of poor budgeting.

💰 Taxpayer Impact: $14,292 from Education
